Yvonne RamirezForbes selected America’s Best Employers based on an independent online anonymous survey of a diverse group of more than 50,000 full- and part-time employees of midsize and large companies employing at least 1,000 people in their U.S. operations. The survey, administered in collaboration with the analytics firm, Statista, covered 25 industry sectors, including utilities, automotive, insurance, and retail. Overall scores were based on a combination of two elements: employees’ willingness, on a rating scale of 0 -10, to recommend their employer to friends or family members and their willingness to recommend other employers in their respective industries to acquaintances.

The survey also included 35 questions about work-related topics, including salary, potential for development, and working conditions. Final scores were calculated for more than 2,700 employers; Forbes created ranking lists of the top 500 midsize and top 500 large employers.
